What are the genotypes and respective blood types of the ABO system? What is the MN blood system? What is the pattern of genetic inheritance of the MN blood system? What are multiple alleles? Is there dominance in multiple alleles?
What are the types of dominant and recessive alleles in heredity? What are Mendelian phenotypic inheritance patterns? What are genes? What are alleles? Identify the type of inheritance that best describes the following pedigrees: a. autosomal dominant b. autosomal recessive c. X-linked dominant ...
What is an Allele? Sometimes, there are different forms of genes from the same person. These are calledAlleles(say a-leel). To make this easier, let us use specific examples. Let us say you have blue eyes. It would be very likely that your mum or dad also had blue eyes. If even ...
The main reasons for doing an IUI with a sperm donor are the following: Single mothers by choice: women who decide to be single mothers. Same sex female couples: couples of women who decide to have a child together. Risk of transmission of genetic diseases from the father, although ...
PGT can help to increase the chances of a successful pregnancy and to reduce the risk of miscarriage. It can also be used to select embryos that are less likely to have a genetic disorder. What are the different types of PGT? There are three types of PGT: PGT-Aneuploidy (PGT-A) PGT-...
Which blood type you have is genetic, but is determined based on certain antibodies and other inherited antigenic factors on the red blood cells or the lack thereof. But what are the different types of blood types? What is the rarest blood type? What other important medical knowledge can be...
up to four different alleles at a given locus, and have been shown to be responsible for genetic traits, susceptibility to disease, and response to drug therapies; fragment analysis can distinguish between these when dye-labeled nucleotides are used in pla...
Genetics is the science of inheritance. It aims to understand the mechanism by which the blueprints for life are passed through generations and how variations in these blueprints are essential for evolution, yet can cause disease. This article aims to define the major types of genetic disorder ...
TypesThere are two different types of Fabry disease— classic and late-onset. While both are caused by mutations in the GLA gene, they have a different disease course due to different amounts of functional alpha-Gal A enzyme being produced in each type. The amount of alpha-Gal A that’s...
It gives people a choice and allows them a chance to develop a proactive plan against development of the disease. There was story on the news the other day about a lady that had breast cancer in her family. She took a genetic test that revealed that she had a very likely chance of dev...
